REGIONAL RANKINGS
With the first NCAA Regional Rankings being announced this week the Wildcats sit at No. 3 behind St. Edward's at No. 1 and Midwestern State at No. 2. The top six teams from each region earn a berth in next month's NCAA Championship tournament as the Wildcats are looking for their first berth in program history.
RECORD WATCH
Andrea Carpenter has worked her way into the ACU record books with last weekend's hat trick. She has tallied 12 goals on the season with four games left to play as she became the Wildcats single season leader in goals scored. However, teammate
Ashley Holton is close behind and over took Carpenter last week with a hat trick of her own and tied
Lyndsey Womack on the record books with a pair of goals against West Texas A&M. Womack set the record in the Wildcats inaugural season of 2007 with 10 goals.
